Would it be possible to rework your build process some to output
everything to a separate directory? For example, my application's
build script puts everything into a build directory which is a child
of the trunk (I check out the trunk, then build). Then I just set
svn:ignore build on trunk, and the whole mess is ignored in one shot.
